Cubic Equation Guadalupe Marin-Aguilar Tania Kristell Contreras A Step Back in History…. Cubics in Babylonia (2000 BC) Babylonian calculated cubic roots from tables, but not completely clear of their methods used. It is anyhow known that they used a method of root extraction involving only integer additions. The table is made out of clay, size, 7,6x4,4x2,3 cm, and contains 3 columns, 30 line in cuneiform script. The only similar text known before is a Late Babylonian table text. The Babylonians divided the day into 24hrs, each hour into 60mins, And each minute into 60secs. Gerolamo Cardano His major fields of study were astrology, music, philosophy, and medicine. 131 works were published during his lifetime. In mathematics, he wrote a variety of subjects. He wrote a Book on Games of Chance. The work broke ground on theory of probability. Cardano is reported to have correctly predicted to exact date of his own death. His greatest work was Ars Magna (The Great Art) published in 1545. It was the first Latin treatise devoted exclusively to Algebra and is where the he also published the cubic formula. Linda Hall Library History of Science Collection Solving You need to solve: With a=0 the equation is reduced to a quadratic equation. The solution can be integer, real, rational, irrational or complex number. ax3 + bx2 + cx + d Where a ≠ 0 You can use the Cardano’s formula which gives you the roots to the function. How to solve Possible Solutions The equation can contain: - 3 different real solutions - 2 real solutions, one of them is a double solution. - A single real solution which is a triple solution. - A single real solution and a pair of conjugate solutions which are complex numbers. Derivative The derivative will yield when .Bearing its resemblance to the quadratic formula, this formula can be used to find the critical points of a cubic function. It t
